I don't know much about programming.  What exactly do I do with it?]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:48:07 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13478&PID=37682&title=u#37682 <![CDATA[%%U : Try this:(defun C:Utou (/ ss n...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13478&PID=37681&title=u#37681 Author: Kent Cooper

Try this:

(defun C:Utou (/ ss n txt str)
  (if (setq ss (ssget "_X" '((1 . "*%%U*"))))
    (repeat (setq n (sslength ss)); then
      (setq
        txt (ssname ss (setq n (1- n)))
        str (getpropertyvalue txt "TextString")
      ); setq
      (while (wcmatch str "*%%U*")
        (setq str (vl-string-subst "%%u" "%%U" str))
      ); while
      (setpropertyvalue txt "TextString" str)
    ); repeat
  ); if
  (princ)
); defun

Minimally tested.  [Curiously under these circumstances, but typically for defined commands, the command name is not case-sensitive.]

Thanks for the reply.

That does not work because it is a code and not actually recognized as text.

Helo marie_b, try the command FIND or _FIND. It works with a selection of entities or with all the drawing.]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2020 11:36:55 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13478&PID=37678&title=u#37678 <![CDATA[%%U : I have a file that I can only...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13478&PID=37677&title=u#37677 Author: marie_b

I have a file that I can only use Single Line text in.  Some things need to be underlined so I use the control U command.  This adds %%U to the contents of the text.  My problem is this file is imported into Corel Draw and the %%U causes issues.  It will only work ok with %%u.  Is there a way to change this command so it adds a little u instead of a capital U?  Or is there any way to find/replace the U with a u?

Thanks!
